Unity Netcode for GameObjects skill for multiplayer networking, RPCs, state synchronization, and server-authoritative gameplay.
What this skill does
# Unity Netcode Skill
Multiplayer networking using Unity Netcode for GameObjects.
## Overview
This skill provides capabilities for implementing multiplayer games using Unity's Netcode for GameObjects, including state synchronization, RPCs, and network topology configuration.
## Capabilities
### Network Architecture
- Configure client-server topology
- Set up network manager
- Handle player spawning
- Manage scene loading
### State Synchronization
- Implement NetworkVariables
- Configure sync modes
- Handle prediction
- Manage network transforms
### Remote Procedure Calls
- Implement ServerRpc methods
- Create ClientRpc methods
- Handle RPC parameters
- Manage RPC batching
### Player Management
- Handle player connections
- Implement player spawning
- Manage player state
- Handle disconnections
## Prerequisites
- Unity 2021.3+
- Netcode for GameObjects package
- Transport layer (UTP recommended)
## Usage Patterns
### Network Object
```csharp
public class PlayerNetworkBehaviour : NetworkBehaviour
{
private NetworkVariable<int> health = new NetworkVariable<int>(100);
public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
{
if (IsOwner)
{
// Initialize owned player
}
}
[ServerRpc]
public void TakeDamageServerRpc(int damage)
{
health.Value -= damage;
if (health.Value <= 0)
{
DieClientRpc();
}
}
[ClientRpc]
private void DieClientRpc()
{
// Play death effects on all clients
}
}
```
### Network Manager Setup
```csharp
// Configure in NetworkManager component
networkManager.ConnectionApprovalCallback = ApprovalCheck;
void ApprovalCheck(NetworkManager.ConnectionApprovalRequest request,
NetworkManager.ConnectionApprovalResponse response)
{
response.Approved = ValidatePlayer(request.Payload);
response.CreatePlayerObject = true;
}
```
## Best Practices
1. Use NetworkVariables for state
2. Validate all RPCs on server
3. Minimize network traffic
4. Handle disconnections gracefully
5. Test with simulated latency

Use when creating EPC products, configuring product attributes, building offer bundles with Product Child Items, or reviewing EPC DataPack JSON metadata for product catalog changes. TRIGGER when: user creates or updates Product2 EPC records, AttributeAssignment payloads, AttributeMetadata/AttributeDefaultValues, Offer bundles, or ProductChildItem relationships. DO NOT TRIGGER when: designing OmniScripts/FlexCards/Integration Procedures (use building-omnistudio-omniscript, building-omnistudio-flexcard, or building-omnistudio-integration-procedure), implementing Apex business logic (use generating-apex), or troubleshooting deployment pipelines (use deploying-metadata).
relationship-science-coach
IncludedUse this skill for direct, practical adult relationship coaching: couples conflict, repair, trust, marriage, dating, flirting, attachment patterns, emotional connection, sex, desire differences, eroticism, kink negotiation, affection, love languages, breakups, and long-term passion. Draw on Gottman, EFT and Hold Me Tight, attachment science, modern sex research, Perel, Nagoski, Kerner, Schnarch, Love and Stosny, and flexible love-language tools. Be concrete and low-hedge. Redirect only for imminent danger, abuse, coercive control, minors, non-consent, self-harm, stalking, or medical/legal/psychiatric decisions.

IncludedSalesforce integration architecture and runtime plumbing with 120-point scoring. Use this skill to set up Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture. TRIGGER when: user sets up Named Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callouts, Platform Events, CDC, or touches .namedCredential-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Connected App/OAuth config (use configuring-connected-apps), Apex-only logic (use generating-apex), or data import/export (use handling-sf-data).
venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
net-ops
IncludedCross-platform network troubleshooting (Windows, macOS, Linux) via local or remote shell. Use for: DNS broken, can't resolve hostnames, nslookup/dig works but apps fail, NRPT, WFP, scutil, /etc/resolver, systemd-resolved, /etc/resolv.conf, NetworkManager, VPN DNS leak residue (ProtonVPN/Mullvad/WireGuard/AnyConnect), AV/firewall blocking DNS or DoH, Tailscale DNS interaction, intermittent connectivity, remote diagnostics over SSH.
